Effects of diode and erbium lasers as an adjunct to scaling and root planing on clinical and immunological parameters in non-surgical periodontal treatment: a split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial-"effects of lasers on immunological parameters".

This study evaluated the effects of diode and erbium lasers, as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP), on clinical and immunological parameters in non-surgical periodontal therapy. In this split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial, 17 participants with at least one periodontally involved tooth in each quadrant received oral hygiene instruction and full-mouth SRP. At baseline, probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and full-mouth plaque index (FMPI) were measured, and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) sampling was performed.

In Vitro Effect of Photodynamic Therapy with Indocyanine Green Followed by 660 nm Photobiomodulation Therapy on Fibroblast Viability.

This in vitro study sought to assess the effect of repetitive PBMT on the viability of fibroblasts following aPDT with indocyanine green (ICG). In this in vitro experimental study, human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were obtained and incubated in a culture medium. After reaching 10 000 cells cm , the cells were divided into five groups of control, aPDT with ICG and 808 nm (energy density of 24 J cm ), PBMT immediately after aPDT, PBMT with 660 nm (energy density of 7.

Effect of two commercial acellular dermal scaffolds on biological behavior of human gingival fibroblasts.

Background: Periodontal regeneration is an essential goal of periodontal therapy. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been recommended as an alternative to autogenous grafts. However, since it is devoid of cells and vasculature, there are concerns regarding the biological behavior of cells on ADM.
